Hard Working PerfectionistMars sets the pace with work or health, moving to Virgo on Jul 1st. Introduce Aries 'the hard-working perfectionist' to the world, as you start new tasks or apply new skills. Pressure from a boss, a co-worker or a work situation is in the wind.
Jul 3rd brings a New Moon in Cancer, calling for a new start with home or family life. Be sensitive and caring. Communications will feature. Avoid extravagant spending or exaggerated reactions as Venus opposes Jupiter. Unusual contacts or people will communicate or make their presence felt, as Mercury trines Chiron and Neptune. You may be inspired or confused, but don't overreact or aspire too high as the Sun opposes Jupiter on Jul 6th. Take a balanced view as you deal with authority or with a career concern. Jul 10th will bring demanding tasks or routines as Mars crosses Saturn. You may take on new authority, or you may clash with one. Prepare for negotiations or hot words as Mercury clashes with Pluto. Home or family come into focus then as the busy messenger moves to Cancer, showing that work or communications will affect home life.
Plans, talk and action are favoured from Jul 14th to 16th. Jul 18th brings a Full Moon in Capricorn. Career dealings will be in the frame, along with fuss and bother with the public or authority. You'll be emotional or excited with professional options and will see how things stand in the balance of personal and professional responsibility. Jul 22nd brings the Sun to Leo, bringing romance, recreation, creative ventures or children into focus. For good or ill, you'll give life or interests a dramatic boost. Friends or activities of an unusual nature feature on Jul 23rd. It's fiery and feisty from there, but you'll get what you want from good leadership and subtle appeal.

Parties, romance and pleasurable or recreational activity will feature, as will entertainment or a touch of drama. You'll want to be the centre of attention. Take the wheel of the ship. Past contacts or old flames return on Jul 27th and the romance factor is high as the month ends, but don't be naïve over love or money. Judgement will be flawed or overly-hopeful.
Getting It RightMars rolls into Virgo from Jul 1st, focusing on work, precision, discernment and attention to detail. It's time to start new tasks or duties with work or health.
